Reset switch to factory defaults If I’m not using brand new switch, I normally like to reset it back to factory defaults before doing anything. Use a pointy object (like paper clip) and press “Reset” and “Clear” buttons on the front of the switch at the same time. Release “Reset” button. When “Self Test” LED start to blink, release “Clear” button too. Now the switch should do it test routines. After that it should be back on factory defaults.

Problem When I first started in IT, I went and did my Cisco CCNA . So I learned that to connect Cisco switches and pass VLAN traffic between them, I needed to create a 'Trunk' to pass the VLAN traffic. Fast forward a few years, and I now work for an HP reseller. Very early on I came to realise that what HP called a 'trunk' was very different from what I had been taught. Below is an article I did a while ago about setting up HP Trunks. HP Networking 'ProCurve' - Trunking / Aggregating Ports I was in some HP/Wireless training last week and once again I was struggling with their terminology, so today I lined up a bunch of switches on the test bench and worked out the differences. Below you will find the following scenarios; Scenario 1 Configuring Cisco Catalyst Switches with VLANs. Scenario 2 Configuring HP Switches with VLANs. Scenario 3 Setting up HP Switches with Trunked VLANs Scenario 4 Setup VLANs via HP Trunks and Cisco Port Chann
